The History Department took Higher History candidates on a festive trip to attend a lecture by one of Scotland’s most eminent historians: T.M. Devine on Monday 12th December. Professor Devine is a Personal Senior Research Professor in History at the School of History, Classics and Archaeology at University of Edinburgh. His topic was the Scottish Emigration in the late 19th and early 20th century, which is the topic our Higher candidates are studying for in preparation for Paper 2 of their examinations. In particular, he looked at the Scottish exodus of the 1800's and 1900's, examining why so many Scots fled the country during a time of Victorian prosperity, as well as the consequences it had on what is now one of Europe's greatest emigrant peoples. Pupils enjoyed the evening with Mr Pichotka’s “favourite” historian.
